I am Me

I am me.

A complex being wrapped in skin

with a functioning mind of my own.

Some see me as stiff and cold.

While others see me warm and caring.

Get to know me for what I am

not for what you believe you see.

My flesh is not me.

My spirit is me.

My body a dresser

My mind its drawers.

Open them and you will find

The beautiful being I am.

Search those drawers

and you will find

the variations that make up me.

Close those drawers, then look and see

that I am simply me.
